I like baking and snails, but not the two together

Despicable Me 2 Minion Cupcakes

These suckers are the farthest thing from homemade. I made the cake from a box (still getting settled in the apartment kitchen) and we all know twinkies can’t be replicated, so I bought those. The eyes are made of smarties and the hair is brown sprinkles. Yes, unless you can find a baking store near you, you have to separate the brown sprinkles from the other colors. The dots on the eyes and glasses are royal icing, although gel piping icing from the store will do the exact same thing. I think I had to make something homemade just for my conscience….
